Steps:
- Prepare the dressing 30 minutes ahead of time by combining the brown sugar, soy sauce, sesame oil, salad oil, and rice vinegar in a salad dressing carafe.
- To prepare the Chinese rice noodles, heat a skillet with a few tablespoons of oil and break off a little bit of the noodles and add them to the skillet and fry them. They will puff up in the skillet, so only add a few at a time. As they begin to puff up, remove and drain them on paper towels. Be sure to cook long enough as the under cooked noodles will be like eating needles. Once cooked, add them to the salad mixture.
- In a large bowl combine the iceberg lettuce, cooked and shredded chicken, green onions and toasted sesame seeds. Let chill about 10 minutes, and just before serving add the cooked rice noodles. Serve in salad bowls and offer the dressing in a pourable container so your family can add as much dressing as they want. You can also pour the dressing over the top of the salad, toss, and serve immediately.

CHINESE CHICKEN SALAD
Ellen Chao from Manhattan Beach, CA, writes: "I make this salad when I entertain guests. It looks impressive and tastes delicious. My kids love it, too - especially with the fried wonton skins." When chicken Caesar loses appeal, this salad, with its soy dressing and fried wontons, is a substitute worth the betrayal.

Steps:
- Make fried wontons:
- Cut wonton wrappers into 1/2-inch-wide strips and separate on paper towels.
- Heat 3/4 inch oil in a wide 3-quart heavy saucepan over moderate heat until it registers 350°F on thermometer. Fry strips, 5 or 6 at a time, gently turning over once with a slotted spoon, until just golden, 15 to 30 seconds per batch (some strips will fold and curl). Transfer to paper towels to drain, then season with salt.
- Make salad:
- Cook snow peas in a 4-quart pot of boiling salted water until crisp-tender, about 1 1/2 minutes. Transfer with a slotted spoon to a bowl of ice and cold water to stop cooking, then drain in a colander and pat dry. Cut diagonally into 1-inch-wide pieces and put in a large bowl with cabbage and romaine.
- Whisk together soy sauce, lemon juice, sugar, vinegar, salt, and pepper in a small bowl, then add sesame oil and vegetable oil in a slow stream, whisking until sugar is dissolved and dressing is combined well. Toss chicken and scallions with 1/3 cup of dressing in another large bowl. Whisk remaining dressing (it will separate), then add cabbage mixture, cilantro, almonds, and sesame seeds to chicken and toss with enough remaining dressing to coat. Sprinkle with wontons (if using).

CHINESE CHICKEN SALAD
A delightfully light chicken salad with just the right amount of crunch. I make this quite regularly as it's easy and really refreshing. And, ok, I'm addicted to it. ;o) If you can't get Napa cabbage, try iceberg lettuce, but don't use savoy cabbage or anything else; they're way too firm. Don't skip the exploding maifun rice noodles which are the hallmark of this salad. They can be found in any Asian market and some larger supermarkets. Dynasty is one brand of Maifun, aka rice sticks.

Steps:
- Parboil the chicken until cooked through. Let cool. Tear into very small pieces with your fingers (easier than cutting and looks better!) and stir fry with the teriyaki sauce for one minute. Set aside.
- *** OR, you could cut the raw chicken up into 1-2" cubes and stir-fry with the teriyaki sauce until done, then shred by hand when cool.
- Chop, not tear, the Napa cabbage into roughly 1/4" x 2" strips. Add the green onion, almond slivers, sesame seeds, cilantro and chicken and gently toss.
- Heat the vegetable oil to 375F degrees. Test a couple of maifun noodles by dropping them in the hot oil; if they "explode" immediately, your oil is hot enough. Deep fry the remaining maifun noodles in batches (they puff up to 5 times their original size) and drain on paper towels. Be gentle... they're fragile.
- Combine all dressing ingredients in cruet and shake well. To serve, very gently fold noodles into salad, then add dressing at the last minute to maintain salad crispness. Top with fried wonton wrapper strips.
Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make all the difference in the flavor of your salad.
- Don't overcook the chicken. Chicken that is overcooked will be tough and dry.
- Shred the chicken into small pieces. This will help it to absorb the flavors of the dressing.
- Use a light hand with the dressing. You don't want to overpower the delicate flavor of the chicken and vegetables.
- Serve the salad immediately. This will help to prevent the dressing from making the salad soggy.
Conclusion:
Chinese chicken salad is a delicious and healthy dish that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover chicken. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious and satisfying meal that the whole family will love.
